INVESTMENT SUMMARY

INVESTMENT THESIS

INDUSTRY ANALYSIS

Figure 1: Sales Performance Note: Retrieved from www.aai.com.pe

With the method of Free Cash Flow resulted in a net present value of the company S/.281’522,000. The flows are discounted with an average rate of 4.78% quarterly, matching the estimate of the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC). To get the WACC, it was considered the cost of debt and the cost of capital, without taking into account the beta of the industry. In addition, the cost of capital was obtained by the amount of risk-free rate plus the premium market (market risk unless the risk-free rate). In the market risk, it was considered the annual change in the General Index of the Lima Stock Exchange. The results of the strategic changes, initiated since the Interbank Group joined the shareholders of Supermercados Peruanos S.A., have helped to build gradually, especially in 2007, higher sales growth, increased generation of operating results and net profit, and an improved financial structure in terms of indebtedness, profitability, liquidity and operational efficiency.

All this confirms a positive outlook for the coming periods: the increasing dynamics of the supermarkets’ sales have reached the adequate growing perspectives due to the expansion plans of the leading reatailers’ chains, and the possible entrance of new operators, attracted by the low penetration level on this modality of retailing sales in the local market. On top of this, it must be added SPSA’s expansion projects.

The peruvian economy continues to present a positive development in macroeconomic terms. According to the Central Reserve Bank of Peru (BCRP) for the year 2007, the GDP growth was 9%, while domestic demand rose by 11.6%. Such economic expansion is also reflected in sales through modern retail channels. For instance, Wong and Metro, Supermercados Peruanos and Tottus, have accumulated an increase of approximately 30% during 2007.

Table 1: Global Demand and Supply (actual percentage changes)

Note: From the Central Reserve Bank of Perú

According to statistics from the National Institute of Statistics and Information (INEI), Peru is in the process of recomposition in favor of the socio-economic sectors, where sectors B and C have shown a growing trend, while sector D has decreased. This development has led an improvement in the purchasing power of the population of fewer resources, which until recent years was very poorly served by the supermarket chains. In this context, the expansion of coverage of the supermarket business represents an opportunity, even more so when it is observed the low level of penetration of these in the Peruvian market compared with other Latin American countries.

The increase in the population consumption has led to sales growth of supermarkets, which have joined new local chains, both in Lima and in provinces, to meet the increasing demand. In Lima and Callao, it has been estimated the level of penetration in 30%, while in provinces penetration levels are still low. However, it is considered to have high expectations given the growth in the employment level.

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE

Threat of New Entrants

Bargaining Power of Suppliers

Bargaining Power of Buyers

Threat of Substitute Products

Economic growth in the inner cities, driven by export growth, has turned several cities (Trujillo and Ica, for example) into attractive places to investors of local services and real estate.

In 2007, the total number of stores of major supermarket chains rose to 101, while in 2006 it was 88. All three competitors were aggressive in their investments and openings of stores to expand their activities and gain greater market share.

Insofar, the sector has achieved an important development, consolidating the supermarket industry in the Metropolitan Lima area around three main players: Supermercados Wong, with an average market share of 60%; SPSA, with 27%; and Hipermercados Tottus, with approximately 13%. In provinces, regional chains have developed.

The low penetration of supermarkets in the country, a growing domestic demand and an incentives policy for private investment by the Peruvian government, puts Peru in the view of major foreign investors. For example, the Fallabella Group of Chile made its only supermarket project in Peru. At the same time, it underlines the acquisition of Supermercados Wong conducted by the Chilean group Cencosud.

As a result, the entry barriers for new comers into the grocery industry in Peru are very low. It only depends on the investment capacity of the investor group.

The negotiation scheme with suppliers is based on contracts without compromise of charges or penalties for breach of terms. It gives a low level of negotiation to suppliers because of the high purchasing power of supermarkets.

The supermarket industry has consumers with more information and they demand better prices, greater variety of products and services, as well as a friendlier environment and personal attention. As a result, the bargaining power of buyers is medium, as the supermarket sector has a challenge to attract consumers accustomed to purchase its traditional products at warehouses in the neighborhood or district supply markets.

In the supermarket sector, there are substitutes such as: (a) grocery stores, which are traditional and highly personalized at understanding the details of daily purchases and tastes of their customers; (b) market supplies, places where the consumers negotiate the price of products; and (c) informal markets, commonly called “flea markets”, where there is no security on the origin of the products they offer.

These substitutes are the main reason why the penetration level of supermarkets in Peru is the lowest in South America.

Rivalry Among Existing Competitors

COMPANY DESCRIPTION

The intensity of the rivalry between the supermarket chains in the country is increasingly higher. This is evident in the need to capture more customers by diversifying products and services. Consequently, all supermarket chains are constantly innovating with new formats (known as hypermarkets, which offer a wide range of products), and expand their market share through the entrance to major cities nationwide.

In addition, the supermarket chains in Peru maintain strategic alliances with various companies, to provide greater convenience, service and satisfaction to their customers, while ensuring a continuous flow of them. These alliances include partnerships with food companies, banks, and pharmaceutical companies, among others. Also, the supermarkets benefit from additional income, since in most cases the space occupied by the associated companies is rented.

Supermercados Peruanos S.A., a Peruvian company, was formed as a limited company on June 1st, 1979, under the trade name of Promociones Camino Real S.A. In 1993, the supermarket was sold to Santa Isabel, a chilean group, and the company started to operate as Supermercados Santa Isabel S.A. The chain grew during the nineties by acquiring the stores of Mass and Top Market. The leasing of the San Jorge supermarket consolidated it as the second supermarket chain in Peru.

Later, the Dutch group Royal Ahold, the third retailer in the world, became co-owner of Santa Isabel S.A., and was increasing its participation until they assume full control of the company. Under the administration of Ahold, the company successfully launched the format of hypermarkets Plaza Vea; however, the group decided to sell its operations in South America. Royal Ahold sold Supermercados Santa Isabel S.A. to Interbank Group (Banco Internacional del Peru S.A.-Interbank and Interseguro Compañía de Vida S.A.) and Compass Capital Partners Corporation. They purchased all the shares and gave them the financial backing and prestige necessary to continue the expansion process initiated by Ahold. The General Stock Holder Meeting decided to change the name of Supermercados Santa Isabel to SUPERMERCADOS PERUANOS S.A.

In 2005, the company opened its first Vivanda supermarket in Pezet Avenue located in San Isidro, a level A district. Between 2005 and 2006, the company opened 4 Vivanda stores, other Plaza Vea stores and the creation of Plaza Vea Super. In the same year, Supermercados Peruanos reached a market share of 29%. Since 2006, the company has grown through the construction of new stores, both in Lima and in provinces; and, in some cases, remodeling existing stores to better meet the needs of its customers.

In 2003, the General Stock Holder Meeting of Supermercados Santa Isabel S.A. registered shares representing the capital stock in the Lima Stock Exchange and in the Public Register of the Securities Market. The capital stock of the company was One Hundred Forty Million Five Hundred Sixty Six Thousand Eight Hundred Nine and 00/100, Nuevos Soles represented by

Strategies

Vivanda is the second-largest brand in Supermercados Peruanos. It has six stores in the province of Lima, in the districts of San Isidro, Surco, Magdalena and Miraflores. They cater the upper social classes A and B. It is more appreciated among women ranging from 17 to 25 years, as well as executives and entrepreneurs. Also, it is the only supermarket in Peru that has a store open 24 – 7, located in Miraflores district, in Lima. “Mass” is a small market located in places like Chosica and Magdalena; there are eleven stores with small areas. There are future plans to form a larger supermarket, aimed to target groups of socioeconomic status C and D. Supermercados Peruanos S.A. has 48 locals:

• 21 Plaza Vea hypermarkets• 6 Vivanda supermarkets• 7 Plaza Vea Super supermarkets• 2 Santa Isabel supermarkets• 11 Mass discount stores• 1 San Jorge Market

There are hypermarkets Plaza Vea in Arequipa, Chiclayo, Trujillo and Piura. The business strategy of SPSA is based on the change of format of its stores. The expansion of its operations and the financial backing provided by the shareholder, Grupo Intercorp, ensures the necessary resources to further the expansion of a strong managerial group and extensive experience in the industry.

During the years 2004 and 2005, the company’s strategy was based on the definition and consolidation of its formats, culminating with the launch of the new brand Vivanda, the transformation of the stores Minisol into Mass, and a profound improvement in quality and services of Plaza Vea.

The business strategy of the Company has determined that the stores that are currently operating under the format of Plaza Vea Super are converted during the 2008 into the Vea format. At the same time, it will offer the Vea card that gives its customers the capacity to buy products on credit from their stores.

It is important to mention that the introduction of values in the organization as transparency, commitment and spirit of improvement, teamwork, sense of humor and social responsibility, has contributed to the success of its operations.

SPSA has people specializing in each of its product lines; their business is divided into small units. The corporate strategy consists in negotiating volume purchases of supplies for all its supermarkets.

CUSTOMERS BY SEGMENT

Plaza Vea

Vivanda

Market San Jorge

There are two large groups’ stores: Plaza Vea La Molina and Caminos del Inca, where they attract groups A and B; and a second set of stores, such as Plaza Vea Brasil and Plaza Vea Risso, catering groups B and C.

Their customers come from socio-economic levels A, B and C, with incomes that allow them to access more expensive products and services. Class A is located in Surco, La Molina, Miraflores, San Isidro and San Borja. Class B lives in traditional districts like Jesus Maria, Lince, Pueblo Libre, Magdalena and San Miguel. Class C is located in San Martin de Porres, Los Olivos, Rimac, Breña, La Victoria, Chorrillos, San Juan de Miraflores and around El Callao.

There is a group of customers, belonging to the so-called “middle class traditional two” of Lima, which has experienced a decrease in their purchasing capacity because of the pressure to incur in some expenses to maintain their “social status”; the majority has access to credit card.

In recent years, customers levels D to level B and C buy much more in supermarkets. A good segment corresponds to merchants or entrepreneurs that obtain personal formal or informal income in cash; they do not pay rent because they own their home (with or without title deed). As a result, they have greater consumption. Customers from Plaza Vea Super resemble clients of Plaza Vea, with the exception of some stores such as Plaza Vea Super Valle Hermoso or Dasso, which have more clients of level A. Customers come from socio-economic level A or B; but predominantly A. The money available for consumption is high, and, additionally, most of them have access to credit cards.

Predominant customers come from socio-economic levels C and D. Their availability for consumption in cash is limited, for that reason they seek the lowest price. Customers of the socio-economic level D are located in the districts of San Juan de Lurigancho, Ate, Lurigancho, El Agustino, Villa El Salvador, Villa Maria del Triunfo and Lurin.

SWOT Analysis

PEER ANALYSIS

Wong Group

Figure 3: SWOT

The main competitors of Supermercados Peruanos are Wong and Metro, owned by Cencosud. They operate under 3 formats (Wong, Metro and ECO), while Hipermercados Tottus operates in one format only.

Wong Corporation is the Peruvian’s largest group targeted for direct sale to consumers with presence in Lima and Trujillo. It has 48 stores among its four formats: Wong, Metro, Eco and American Outlet.

Today, they have 32 stores operating under the brands “Wong” (12 supermarkets), “Metro” (8 supermarkets and 10 hypermarkets), “Eco” (a warehouse store) and “American Outlet” (2 stores).

The main competitor for Vivanda and Plaza Vea Super is Supermercados Wong.

Hipermercados Metro was inaugurated in 1992, with a format never seen until then. It had wider product presentations and more affordable prices. This format competes with Plaza Vea’s format.

American Outlet was created with the aim of offering products with the best brands international but with a reduction of the original price up to 70%. Group E. Wong opened American Outlet discount store located in Plaza Camacho Shopping Center. Wong Group does not have competitors in this area; Supermercados Peruanos has no stores of this format.

Hipermercados Tottus

Peer Ratio Analysis

Hipermercados Tottus is a company incorporated in Peru in 2002. It was created as a result of the expansion of Saga Falabella, who ventured into the category of hypermarkets through HIPERMERCADOS TOTTUS. In December of the same year the company opened its first store: TOTTUS MEGA PLAZA. In November of the following year, Tottus opened its second store, in the most commercial area of San Isidro: TOTTUS LAS BEGONIAS.

In 2004, Tottus opened its third store in San Miguel: TOTTUS LA MARINA.

In 2008, Tottus determined to implement its growth through a fairly ambitious plan that included opening in several provinces in the country.

In a short time, and with a small number of stores, Tottus has managed to obtain access in the market and a highly competitive position, currently taking a 14% of market share. Each Tottus is 10 or 12 thousand m2 unlike stores from Supermercados Peruanos whose stores only have from 4 or 6 thousand m2.

Figure 4 : Market ShareNote: Retrieved from www.equilibrium.com.pe The analysis of the ratios of competition has been conducted without taking into account Hipermercados Tottus, because it has short market share. From the year 2005, SPSA showed a growing trend in its revenues as a result of the increased number of locals in operation, and the commercial and operating relaunch of the company in 2004, when the group entered with the INTERBANK shareholders.

During the 2007 period, SPSA earned sales revenue amounting to S/.1,313 million, 21.7% higher than the figure obtained in 2006. The improvement in gross margin and the relative decline in the costs of administration, sales and depreciation, operating income has shown an improvement, amounting to S/. 24.3 million in 2007, surpassing by more than twice as recorded in the past two years.

Table 5: Board of Managers

Note: Retrieved from www.equilibrium.com.pe

There are no plans for management succession. The sequence is based on the growth of the company. The vacancies are filled by the management through external recruitment or relocation of jobs. The policy of incentives for management is based on economic incentives that vary depending on performance. The goals are negotiated with the directors who have signed contracts of incentives. The bonds are handled confidentially, and they are negotiated personally with managers (including chiefs and analysts) through contracts based on the performance of different objectives, depending on the position of the worker.

Managers must meet annual goals in order to receive the bonuses. In some instances, they can double the fee, depending on the level of achievement of the objectives.

The staff should reach annual goals. They are based on 10 indicators of the store and 3 annual targets at group level, related to EBITDA, achieving a position in the “Great Place to Work”, and sales levels in the group.

The company has no policy to finance management training. In special cases, external training is given to some workers to fill a management position and to coach them in accordance with the requirements. Table 6 shows the ROIC of SPSA compared with its main competitor, Grupo de Supermercados Wong S.A.

SHAREHOLDER ANALYSIS

Table 6: Return On Invested Capital Comparison


The management of SPSA has clearly outperformed its peer group over the past two years. The return on invested capital for 2005 of SPSA was because the company recorded a net loss mainly related to exchange rate fluctuations. Since 2006, SPSA shows a higher return on capital due to the expansion strategy of increasing the number of new stores and the reformatting of Santa Isabel stores. On the other hand, the performance sales of stores opened in provinces have exceeded the expectations of the company.

The main shareholder of Supermercados Peruanos is IFH Retail Corp., a subsidiary of IFH Peru Ltd., established in January 2007 as part of the corporate reorganization of the Interbank Group holding companies.

By the year 2007, the composition of the shareholding structure of Supermercados Peruanos S.A. is as follows:

Table 7: Capital Structure

Note: From SPSA Annual Report 2007 The shareholders, in order to revalue the company in time, make capital contributions. The interests of shareholders are given by the incentives that they agree with the management.

During 2007, IFH Peru Ltd., Interseguro, Compañia de Seguros de Vida SA and Banco Internacional del Peru S.A.A. transferred its shareholding in Supermercados Peruanos S.A. in favor of IFH Retail Corp. (IFH). Additionally IFH conducted a capital increase amounting to a total of S/.62.6 million in exchange for the issue of the equivalent of S/.77.3 million in shares, causing a loss in the broadcast, which is reflected in the balance sheet at 31st December 2007. IFH now has ownership of 99.99999965% of the shares representing the capital of SPSA, while IFH Peru Limited holds an action that represents the 0.00000035% of the share capital.

RISK ANALYSIS

In keeping with the global trend, the strategy of Supermercados Peruanos S.A. (SPSA) is aimed at expanding its operations through the opening of new stores. This measure implies a higher level of indebtedness, and will require the company to obtain an optimal ratio between debt and assets, so that it shows healthy growth and not deteriorate the fit between the generation of cash and its commitments.

Taking into account that SPSA is “opening” market, especially in the provinces, it must be considered that the entry of another competitor of similar size could cannibalize sales.

An important factor to ponder is the effect of maintaining inventories in this business, where storage costs are high and the inventories turnover influences the liquidity of companies. On the other hand, due to the nature of the business, working capital is financed mainly through suppliers. The high turnout of short-term liabilities on its funding and its impact on liquidity is a strong pressure on the deficit of working capital. But the administration of obligations to suppliers has reduced the deficit in working capital of S/.197.7 million in December 2006 to S/.-109.7 million in December 2007 at the time that has increased the accounts receivable turnover by paying up to 116 days. In December 2007 shows a significant improvement since the deficit in working capital was reduced to 11% of annualized sales.

Figure 5: Working Capital EvolutionNote: Retrieved from www.equilibrium.com.pe on November 13,2009.

The period of payment of its suppliers’ obligations has increased in the last years with accounts payable turnover average of 102 days in 2007, whereas the one of his main competitor was 91days.

The net results of SPSA, due to the moderate operative margins, still exhibit a high dependency on macroeconomic variables such as the variations of the exchange rate, phenomenon characteristic in the supermarket industry.

15


FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE AND PROJECTIONS

The SPSA incomes are mainly national currency and 40% of their passive operations in foreign currency, reason why the net loss of year 2005 as the net utility of year 2007 are strongly related to the fluctuations of the exchange rate.

In the last three years, the supermarket industry has had intense dynamics due to the entrance of new participants in the sector; the greater challenge of SPSA has been to increase the geographic cover by optimizing its operative scale and, thus, to strengthen its margins, to improve its economic results, and their positioning of mark.

Projections for valuing the company came under the following assumptions:

a) The long-term growth of the company’s average was taken of the change in the trade sector’s GDP for the period from 1980 - 2007.

b) The cost of debt for the quarters of 2008 was considered equal to the period 2007 to maintain long-term debt into bonds last for three more years.

c) The investment in fixed assets (CAPEX) was estimated based on the amount of investment activities that the company conducted on an annual basis.

d) The rate of the cost of debt was taken from the average annual rates of short-term and long-term debts, and then weighted it by the respective amount of debts.
